After.  Kelsey and Trip Purks purchased this '40s era home in the Highlands neigborhood of Waco. Fixer Upper's Chip and Joanna Gaines replaced the original white paint paint with a gray-green exterior accented by white trim and black shutters. They retained the original wide Dutch doors, painted them to mimic the look of dark-stained wood, and added an antique brick-paver walkway to match the chimney.

After.  The original living-room gets a full configuration makeover with the removal of a wall and header to create a combined living and dining space with a whole new scale and feel.

After.  The new dining room comes with loads of natural light, and Joanna's design evokes a fresh French Country feel with solid wood table, neutral grey walls, blue accents and a showpiece chandelier.

After.  In the redesigned space, the kitchen and dining areas are partially separated by a kitchen peninsula. Additional overhead lighting is provided by two glass globe pendants.
